Understanding Who We Are.

About Us

Qualitown Thrift Store is a Canadian-owned and operated business that primarily serves British Columbia. Established in 2015 in Cumberland by Caroline Ese Bleaney, a Canadian-African mother of two, Qualitown later relocated to Campbell River, where it operated from 2016 to 2022 (Qualitown Thrift Store). Our mission is to provide clean, high-quality, and affordable clothing to the community, while also supporting homeless individuals and others in need as circumstances require (Campbell River thrift shop offers free shopping for the homeless as needed, 2020).
As a community-based business, we advance our mission by dedicating efforts to creating a positive social impact. In 2023 alone, we distributed over 7,500 items of clothing to community members in need, and our volunteers contributed hours to support our programs and services.

I recently visited Qualitown Thrift Store and had a fantastic experience. The store is well-organized, making it easy to browse through the wide selection of clothing, books, and household items. The staff members are friendly and always ready to help you find what you need. I was impressed by the quality of the items available—everything was clean and in great condition.

A community that lives together, thrives together.

In Qualitown, neighbors regularly come together for community clean-up days, share meals during monthly potlucks, and support each other during difficult times. Because everyone works together and looks out for one another, the entire community is happier, healthier, and more successful. Their unity helps everyone thrive.
